Description

Technical Field:

The present invention relates to a nail magazine of a nailing machine, particularly relates to a series charging type nail magazine capable of charging a plurality of sheets of connected nails.

Background Art:

In a nail magazine of a nailing machine, using connected nails referred to as stick nails or sheet nails or the like in which a number of nails are connected by a strip of hard paper or the like, a series charging type nail magazine for increasing a number of charged containing nails by enabling to overlappingly charge a plurality of sheets of connected nails is proposed. A nail magazine of this kind is constituted such that a plurality of sheets of connected nails which are overlappingly charged are pressed to a nail guide face by a pressure plate and nails are fed by a feed claw arranged on a side of the nail guide face.

For example, the nail magazine of two sheets containing type is formed such that when a first row (a first sheet) of connected nails are fed by the feed claw, a second row (a second sheet) of connected nails cannot be moved forward by being brought into contact with a front wall face of a nail containing chamber and only the first row of connected nails disposed at a nail path to a nose are fed. Nail feeding is carried out by a nail feeding air cylinder of a spring offset type, similar to a general nail magazine, a piston is moved rearward by pressurized air supplied from a blowback chamber of a nailing machine and the piston is moved forward by exhausting pressurized air. When the piston is moved forward, the feed claw of a ratchet type attached to a front end of a piston rod is engaged with the first row of connected nails to feed forward, thereby a front nail is fed into the nose. When a tail of the first row of connected nails is moved forward from a front of the second row of connected nails and a space at a position of the first row is vacated, the second row of connected nails are moved to the position of the first row by being pressed by the pressure plate and brought into contact with the tail of the first row of connected nails to continuously supply to the nose.

According to the series charging type nail magazine of the related art, the feed claw is designed to carry out nail feeding by being engaged with only connected nails at the position of the first row. However, when a rearmost nail of the first row passes a position of a front of the second row and the second row of connected nails are moved to the position of the first row, there is a case in which the feed claw is caught by both of the final nail of the first row and the front nail of the second row. The nail path reaching the nose of the striker is provided with a cross width of a single piece of nail and therefore, two pieces of nails which are aligned crossly cannot simultaneously enter the nail path and when the above-described state is produced, nail clogging is brought about to stop nail feeding and connected nails are obliged to recharge.

Further, in the case of the series charging type nail magazine for pressing connected nails constituted by overlappingly containing a plurality of sheets of connected nails to the nail guide face by the pressure plate and feeding nails by the feed claw on the side of the nail guide face, there poses a problem that when a number of sheets of connected nails at inside of the nail magazine becomes single and the connected nails are consumed to some degree, in the case in which a second sheet of connected nails are inserted from a charge port at a rear portion of the nail magazine, also the connected nails enter the position of the first row by being pressed by the pressure plate and butted to the tail of the first row of connected nails and cannot be charged to the side of the first row.

Further, there is also proposed a series type nail magazine constituted by mounting heads of a succeeding row of connected nails above heads of the first row of connected nails to contain at a different stage. According to the series mounting type nail magazine, connected nails at inside of a nail magazine are pressed to a side of a first row by a pressure plate.

When the first row of connected nails are fed by a feed claw in accordance with nail striking operation and a final nail is moved frontward from a front nail of a succeeding row, the succeeding row of nails are pressed by the pressure plate to move to the position of the first row. At this occasion, in order to enable to move succeeding connected nails held at a position higher than that of the first row of connected nails to a slightly lower predetermined position and addingly charge new connected nails contiguous thereto, a ceiling face of a front portion of a guide groove supporting nail heads of the first row of connected nails are inclined downwardly relative to a nail feeding direction and when connected nails moved to the first row are fed frontward by the feed claw, and the nail heads are brought into contact with the ceiling face to move downward forcibly. In this case, in the case of sheet type connected nails N in an inclined shape in which heights of nails are successively lowered to a front side as shown by Fig. 12, when a feed claw 221 moving forward by an angle the same as an inclined angle of the connected nails N presses the connected nails N in a front skewed direction, a vector of the feed claw 221 and an axis of the nail are not orthogonal to each other and therefore, a slippage is produced between the feed claw 221 and the nail and the connected nails N are pressed up in an upward direction. Thereby, the nail head is pressed to a lower inclined face 222 of the ceiling face of the guide groove and cannot smoothly be moved forward and nail feeding may be stopped. Further, by stopping to feed the nail, there is also a possibility that a driver 223 idly strikes a struck member to damage the member and by idle striking, there is concern that an excessive load is applied to the driver or a bumper (impact damping member) to destruct the member. Further, since the nail head portion is pressed to the lower inclined face 222 of the ceiling face of the guide and the front nail is fed by the feed claw 221, at a connecting strip comprising paper, an adhering layer and the like having a low nail holding force, there is also a possibility that the front nail is detached from the connecting member before being struck to thereby cause a clogging.

It is an object of the invention to resolve instability in nail feeding in a series charging type nail magazine.

Further, it is an object of the invention to enable to charge connected nails to predetermined positions firmly and easily.

Summary of the invention:

The invention is proposed to achieve the above-described object, and provides a nail magazine of a nailing machine characterized in a nail magazine of a nailing machine for overlappingly containing a plurality of sheets of sheet type connected nails in parallel and continuously supplying the plurality of sheet type connected nails to a nose by a feed claw, providing a second feed claw on a rear side of the feed claw, and providing a contact portion brought into contact with a first row of the connected nails on a front side of the second feed claw, wherein when the first row of connected nails passes the contact portion, the second feed claw is engaged with the connected nails of a successively row.

Further, the invention provides a nail magazine of a nailing machine characterized in a nail magazine of a nailing machine comprising a nail containing chamber for overlappingly containing a plurality of sheets of sheet type connected nails in parallel, a nail feeding air cylinder for feeding a first row of the connected nails to a nose by a feed claw, and a pressing member for pressing the connected nails in the nail magazine in a direction of the first row, wherein a front portion of a guide groove for supporting heads of the first row of connected nails is formed with an inclined face rising to a front side and a high position support face, and the first row of connected nails fed by the feed claw are pulled up to a position higher than positions of a second row of connected nails and supported at a different stage.

Further, the invention provides a nail magazine of a nailing machine characterized in a nail magazine of a nailing machine for overlappingly containing a plurality of sheets of sheet type connected nails in parallel including a hook type member slidable frontward and rearward along an inner wall face opposed to a nail guide face wherein the connected nails are charged into the nail magazine by being guided by the hook type member.

Description of the preferred embodiments:

A detailed description will be given of a mode for carrying out the invention in reference to the drawings as follows.

(First embodiment)

Fig. 1 shows a nail magazine 1 and a nose 2 of a pneumatic nailing machine and the nose 2 is coupled to a front end of a cylinder housing (not illustrated) of a nailing machine main body by a bolt. The nail magazine 1 is coupled to a back face of the nose 2 and inclined in a front downward direction in compliance with a shape of sheet type connected nails, the connected nails charged into the nail magazine 1 are fed frontward by a feed claw (not illustrated) and a front nail is supplied into the nose 2. Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 are views taken along a line A-A of Fig. 1, a nail containing chamber of the nail magazine 1 can contain two sheets of connected nails in parallel, a center line of a first row (a first sheet) of connected nails A1 on the right and a center line of the nose 2 coincide with each other in Fig. 3, and a second row (a second sheet) of connected nails N2 are charged to the left. The nail magazine 1 is bonded with a left cover 3 and a right cover 4 which are molded dividedly and as shown by Fig. 3, a pressure plate 5 of a spring prepressurizing type and a foot front holding spring 6 press left side faces of connected nails at inside of the nail containing chamber to press to a right wall. When the first row of connected nails N1 are fed by the feed claw of a nail feeding mechanism, a tail nail is moved forward from a front end of the second connected nails N2 and a space of the first row is vacated, the second row of connected nails N2 are pressed by the pressure plate 5 to move to the position of the first row and the second row of connected nails N2 are brought into contact with a tail of the first row of connected nails N1 to thereby continuously supply the two sheets of connected nails to the nose.

An upper portion of a right wall face of the nail containing chamber is formed with a guide groove 7 for supporting the first row of connected nails and heads of the connected nails N1 are hung on a horizontal bottom face of the guide groove 7 to support. A position of the second row is lower than a position of the first row at ceiling faces thereof and heads of the second row of connected nails N2 are hung on the pressure plate 5 to support. As shown by Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the horizontal bottom face of the guide groove 7 is continuous to a highposition support face 8b via an inclined face 8a rising at a vicinity of the nose 2 and the first row of connected nails N1 rise along the inclined face 8a to mount on the high position support face 8b and are supplied to the nose 2. Therefore, the heads of the first row of connected nails N1 are moved to a position higher than the heads of the second row of connected nails N2, the first row of connected nails N1 and the second row of connected nails N2 are contained at different stages to thereby downsize a cross width dimension of the nail magazine 1. Further, as described above, when the feed claw presses the connected nails frontward, a force of pressing up the connected nails in the upward direction is operated and therefore, movement of connected nails in rising along the inclined face 8a is smooth and nail feeding is not stopped.

Fig. 4 shows an inner wall face of the right cover 4 by removing the left cover 3 and at a front portion thereof, a feed claw portion of a nail feeding mechanism is exposed. The nail feeding mechanism is provided with two feed claws of a front feed claw 9 and a rear feed claw 10 and as shown by Fig. 5, the two

feed claws

9, 10 are axially attached to a piston rod 12 of a spring offset type nail feeding air cylinder 11 and urged to be brought into elastic contact with side faces of connected nails respectively by compression coil springs 13, 14. Although the drawing shows a state of moving the

feed claws

9, 10 rearward by supplying pressurized air to the nail feeding air cylinder 11, in an initial state in which pressurized air is not supplied, the piston rod 12 and the

feed claws

9, 10 are moved forward to frontmost positions by a compression coil spring 15 at inside of the air cylinder 11.

The front feed claw 9 is disposed at a position slightly frontward from a front of the second row of connected nails N2 at the moved-back position in Fig. 5. As shown by Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the rear feed claw 10 is integrally formed with a claw portion 10a at a middle portion and a contact portion 10b extended frontward therefrom and the contact portion 10b is disposed right after the front feed claw 9. Heights of ridges of the claw portion 10a and the contact portion 10b are substantially the same and a face of the contact portion 10b in contact with connected nails is formed to be wider than an interval between nails of connected nails in a width thereof such that the contact face cannot enter between nails.

Successively, operation of the nail feeding mechanism will be explained. As shown by Fig. 5, in a state in which the first row of connected nails N1 and the second row of connected nails N2 are overlappingly charged, the contact portion 10b of the rear feed claw 10 is brought into contact with the side faces of the first row of connected nails N1 and the rear feed claw 10 is pressed down in an outer side direction and the claw portion 10a is escaped to a position at which the claw portion 10a is not engaged with the first row of connected nails N1.

When a main piston of the nailing machine is started and the piston rod 12 is moved rearward, the front feed claw 9 is moved rearward while being brought into contact with the side faces of the first row of connected nails N1 and enter between nails of the first row of connected nails N1 to engage therewith when a final end of a stroke is reached to stop and feeds the first row of connected nails N1 forwardly in successive forward movement. When consumption of the first row of connected nails N1 is progressed and the front feed claw 9 is moved rearward to catch a final nail TN1 of the first row, there is not a nail brought into contact with the contact portion 10b of the rear feed claw 10 and therefore, the contact portion 10b and the claw portion 10a move into the nail path, simultaneously therewith, the second row of connected nails N2 are pressed to a position of the first row and as shown by Fig. 6, the contact portion 10b enters between the final nail TN1 of the first row and a front nail FN2 of the second row and the claw portion enters a rear face of the front nail FN2 of the second row to engage therewith. Further, the first row of connected nails N1 are fed by the front feed claw 9, the second row of connected nails N2 fed by the claw portion 10a of the rear feed claw are pulled up at a front portion thereof along the inclined face 8 shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 and set to an attitude of the first row of connected nails N1 shown in Fig. 3.

At a succeeding nail striking cycle, when the piston rod 12 is moved rearward from the state shown in Fig. 6, the contact portion 10b and the claw portion 10a of the rear feed claw 10 rides over the side faces of the second row of connected nails N2 and the contact portion 10b cannot enter between nails and therefore, the rear feed claw 10a returns to the state of being escaped from connected nails. Further, the front feed claw 9 is engaged with the front nail FN2 of the second row, the connected nails N2 of the second row press the first row of connected nails N1 to move forward integrally and nails are continuously supplied to the nose 2.
